Wow. Lots of progress. Nice work.
Recommendation: add a shield where the conduit and wiring crosses above the tires. I have seen duals pick up road debris, fling it upward, grab and shred wiring, and power short against the body or frame.
Managed PNW Rental and Lease Fleet at Ryder for a few years. Saw alot of truck-related damage done.

Oh yeah I plan on it! I have a big chunk of the mud flap I used for the propane tank left. I was thinking of screwing that on to protect the wires. I may need to get another, but it was cheap.

Wow, you've been busy. Apparently I'm about 30 pages behind on this most excellent build.
It's gonna be a long night at work.
I have been to busy to update! Its been little bits at a time....
More last night though.
Water tank is in, strapped in place, and hopefully stays there. Glad I didn't get a bigger tank, no way I would have gotten the fittings on the end.
Water outlet, drain valve on the right will need to go down though the floor.
And in place, it fit exactly tight against the wall.
Water heater mounted, the blue can will be the grey tank.
I did get the water ran to the other dinette bench and to the valve before the water pump. But that was it. Man its tight and takes forever! All the rest of my pics are blurry....

I wouldn't trust that strap. Those tanks change shape all the time depending how much water you have in them and the ambient temperature. That strap will loosen up eventually.

Yeah I agrees it's pinned in by wood however, the strap is really only to hold it in the vertical plane.
Don't take it as not listening! I appreciate all the input I have been getting.
I'm about an hour from filling the tank for the first time.... Eeek
